NO18 Cruise - In Ålesund

Image
After breakfast left the ship and have come across to look at the Ålesund Museum. It's a short walk if you see the signs but longer if you trust the map. Nice little museum. Now across the street in a cafe with a coffee where there is WiFi. posted from Bloggeroid

NO18 Cruise - Arrived Ålesund

Image
Arrived whilst it was a little dark and murky. A little brighter now but forecast not too encouraging. Need to take macs with us. The cloud is a little strange.

NO18 Cruise - Tuesday Evening

After the sailaway we sat on the balcony and watched the Innvikfjorden sliding past we went to dinner.  Each evening dinner gets better. Tonight was very good. All courses. And we were finished in good time for the 10.30pm show. Tonight's entertainment in the main theatre was all round entertainer Mark Walker and as billed, he was very good.  Tomorrow, when typing,  is Ålesund.We are due to arrive around 8am. We have until 4.30pm to look around. There are a couple of places we want to see here.
